A&P 2 L2 Flashcards
What separates the nasal cavity & oral cavity
Hard & soft palates
What are the 3 advantages to nose-breathing?
- Filter air
- Humidify
- Warm
What divides the air flow into the nasal cavity
Septum
Define deviated septum
Nasal septum bend during birth or occur subsequently from trauma: making it difficult to breathe—-> surgery
Inflammation of the sinus
Sinusitis
Air filled space
Reduced the weight of the skull
Gives your voice quality
Sinus
What is URTI stand for and what is it
Upper respiratory tract infection; infection outside the thoracic cavity
Tissue that is 95% lining of the respiratory system
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar E.T
Opening into larynx
Glottis
C shaped rings that lines down the airways
Hyaline cartilage C.T
Inflammation of the larynx
Laryngitis
What is pulmonary ventilation
Means brea thing
What are 2 types of respiration
External & internal respiration
Lung level; exchange of gases O2 & CO2, between lungs & atmosphere
External respiration
Bluish color change in the skin
Cyanosis
What moves the gases between external respiration & internal respiration
Blood
Cellular respiration; stages is glycosis, Kreb’s cycle, ETS
Internal respiration
Insufficient amount of oxygen in the body
Hypoxia
What are the 4 types of hypoxia
Hypoxic hypoxia
Hypemic hypoxia
Histotoxic hypoxia
Stagnant hypoxia
Lung level hypoxia
Hypoxic hypoxia
Blood level hypoxia; blood is not able to carry blood as it should
Ex: carbon monoxide & anemia
Hypemia hypoxia
Cell level
Cells that can’t use oxygen
Ex: carbon monoxide
Histotoxic hypoxia
Pooling of blood
Sitting/standing in one place too long
Stagnant hypoxia
What is the outer part of the respiratory system
Nose
What is the atmospheric pressure of sea level
760 mmHg
What are meatuses
Space Cavities
As more atmospheric pressure drops it causes what
A stronger hurricane
What is PO2 stand for
Partial pressure of oxygen
At sea level what is the partial pressure
159.60 mmHg
What are the 3 meatuses in the nasal cavity
Superior, middle & inferior
What are the bones in the nasal cavity called
Turbinate bones/nasal conchae
Tension in vocal chords
Pitch
Stretching or shortening vocal chords
Change in pitch
Located at the ends of the bronchus; opening into the lungs
Hilus
Bronchus infection is called
Bronchitis
Wound that penetrates the chest cavity (letting air flow in & out)
Sucking chest wound
What is carina?
Similar function to the septum; directs air flow in the bronchi
Long term disease is known as
Chronic
Sudden onset disease is known as
Acute
Inflammation of the pleura cavity caused by bacteria infection
Pleurisy
The bronchi branches out into ____________
Bronchioles
Outer most covering of the lungs is called
Parietal pleura
Innermost layer of the lung that can’t be removed is the
Visceral pleura
What is located between the visceral pleura & parietal pleura
Pleural fluid
The bronchioles is made of what type of tissue
Cuboidal E.T
Collapse of the lung
Pneumothorax
- Chronic
- Caused by smoking
- Damages alveoli
- Destruction of lung tissue
Emphysema
When the ribs are no longer secure & is broken free its called
Flail chest
- caused by allergens
- constriction of the airways
Asthma
What is COPD?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- made of simple squamous E.T
- exchange oxygen in the respiratory sys.
Alveoli
- made of simple squamous E.T
- exchange oxygen in the cardiovascular sys
Capillaries
The alveoli is made up of how many layers
2 layers of simple squamous E.T & separated by the basement membrane
What is the function of the basement membrane
- Protein structure
- protection
What is the function of the nasal septum
Divides the air flow in the nasal cavity
What are the air filled spaces in the skull called
Sinuses
Where is the larynx located
Between pharynx & trachea
What prevents the trachea from collapsing when food is swallowed
Rings of hyaline cartilage
The bronchioles are lined with what type of tissue
Cuboidal ET
Which of the lungs is divided into 3 parts
Right
The movement of a large concentration of gas or liquid in response to pressure change and/or gravity called
Bulk flow
What is “surfactant” and what is its function
A lipoprotein secreted by certain alveolar cells.
Acts to reduce surface tension thereby decreasing the tendency of the alveoli to collapse
The ease with which the lungs can be expanded as a result of pressure changes occurring during breathing is called
Tidal volume
Vital capacity + residual volume =
Total lung capacity
What is the “anatomic dead space”
Air remaining in the trachea & bronchi that does not enter the alveoli
Laughing & coughing are examples of what type of air movements
Non respiratory
The medullary rhythmicity area is composed of what 2 groups of neurons
Dorsal. & ventral respiratory group
Where are the “chemoreceptors” located and what is their function
Carotid arteries & aorta
Monitor blood oxygen concentration
An abnormal change in the rate and depth of breathing is called
Hyperventilation
What is the percentage of nitrogen in the atmosphere at 50,000 feet
78%
The “cell level” form of hypoxia is known as
Histotoxic hypoxia
Approximately 98% of the oxygen carried in the blood is combined with
Hemoglobin
By what process is oxygen & carbon dioxide exchanged between the alveoli & capillaries
Simple diffusion
What is the primary chemical control of the rate & depth of breathing
Carbon dioxide
Blood is considered to be what type of tissue
Connective tissue
